Gotcha, totally makes sense now, probably a scanner issue, Fuji is notorious for heavy saturation so that's why I was confused, thanks!

Google tells me 50 D RFP was similar to Astia, which is not known for "heavy saturation."
Re: Large Format Landscapes
I'm currently working my way through a 50-sheet box of Fuji 50 RFP that expired in 1985. It spent its entire life in a friend's freezer. Incredibly, it has retained good speed, color and d-max even though it was manufactured 30 years ago. I find it is a very saturated emulsion with good highlight separation and relatively poor shadow detail. It does not have nearly as lively a color palette as Velvia, but it is beautiful in its own way. It was replaced by Velvia in about 1988-89 if I remember correctly.

Yes but even Astia wasn't DULL. The image was less than normal saturation, Astia is known for a more muted and natural saturation but not a DULL one. Anyway as the poster says it looks more colorful on the light box so my perception seems correct.

Depends on the lighting! My Astia slides taken on overcast days are noticeably less saturated than those taken on cloudless days. :)

May I point out unless your transparencies are in cardboard, glass or metal slide projector mounts, then they can not be called slides. They are simply, "transparencies".

This may be a large format focused forum, but Astia came in 35mm, too ;)
